"With her distinctive vocal style,.the late, great Esther Phillips (who passed away in 1984 at the age of 48) left behind a wonderful legacy of music that included soul, R&B and jazz recordings. As David Nathan recalls, "Esther was sassy, funny and a no-nonsense sharp shooter who took no prisoners. She was uncompromising as an artist and someone I miss much.
